Rolling Stones play the Air Canada Centre on Saturday night

The much-decorated Marling’s already officially ‘prolific’ with her fourth album in five years just out, the marvellous Once I Was an Eagle, well-travelled (this is her fourth Toronto shows, in as many venues) and mid-Atlantic with a recent move from London to Los Angeles, to go with a vocal delivery and Brit nu-folk/Americana approach that sounds nothing like her contemporary Adele. Her understated storytelling should please the crowd here. Sampler’s pick of the week. 99 Sudbury, doors 7 p.m.

Rolling Stones

Yes, they’re back, minus Bill Wyman, plus Mick Taylor, preceded by a lot of stale jokes, tepid ticket sales brought on by exorbitant prices, and consequently some “special offers” and “special guests” along the way. If you’re among the few who haven’t seen them and it tugs at you, this and a June 6 return date could be your last chance—- emphasis on the “could be” part, because you never know, that recent single-cell cloning breakthrough has worrisome implications here. Air Canada Centre, 8 p.m.

Sam Roberts Band

It’s a full moon this night, which assuming the weather gods co-operate would provide the requisite atmospherics for the first CBC Music Festival, the first show of the season at nee-Ontario Place, and a set from the no-nonsense rock and rollers that’s scheduled to get underway just after sundown, or whenever Iceland’s expansive Of Monsters and Men finish up. Also along: Sloan, Kathleen Edwards, Corb Lund, Kae Sun and more. It’s also being streamed live at music.cbc.ca starting at 3:30 p.m. Echo Beach, doors 2 p.m.
